Microsoft[New!] Drag and drop conversations into groups
MicrosoftMatthew Harahush, are you in conversation (threaded) view, or message (individual messages) view? In the conversation view, we've limited it to 1 conversation at a time.
Johan Gustavsen, thanks for the feedback.
Ivan Unger + Matthew Harahush, we are still actively working on this for Outlook for Windows, stay tuned!
Hi Ethan - we are eagerly awaiting this feature for Outlook Desktop too.
Any details you have on a release date, I'd be keen to know please.
It will form an important facet of a how we want to use Groups for managing projects.
Thanks, Joe
Joe McGiven Corban Thank you for your feedback. My name is Sri and I wanted to provide a quick update on the latest target timeline for shipping Drag and Drop on Outlook for Windows. We are currently internally testing Drag and Drop (on Win32 Outlook client) and are looking to release the feature to monthly/current channel customers by end of Q3, 2019. Other channel updates will follow. We totally understand the frustration caused by the delay and appreciate your patience on this. We will keep you posted on further updates.
For a long time now we are waiting for the possibility to move our e-mails in public folders to Office 365 groups using Outlook 2016. Do you have any idea when this will be made possible in the near future?
And, as far as I know this is still only possible using OWA by a 100 at a time. But even this I haven't been able to accomplish so far. In OWA I am unable to first select an email and then scroll down, and shift-select the 100th email. Maybe that's not the way to do it?
HE-MJ Drag and Drop functionality will enable moving emails in inbox to your groups folders. We are working on enabling this feature to Insiders Fast channel by end of January, 2020. If you are on monthly/CC builds, you will see the feature by end of Q1 2020. Hope this helps. Thank you for your patience.
Sri Ramya Mallipudi - Hi Sri, thanks for you message back in April. Do you have any fresh updates for Drag and Drop please.
Are you still looking to release the feature to monthly/current channel customers by end of Q3, 2019? If so, that's great. Any update you can provide on this would be appreciated.
Cheers, Joe
Joe McGiven Corban Thank you for your message. Outlook Desktop team is actively working on shipping Drag and Drop messages to Groups and we expect it to start rolling out to Insiders Fast build by end of Jan. If you are on monthly/CC builds, please expect to see the feature by end of Q1 CY2020.
Sri Ramya Mallipudi Thanks for the feedback Sri. This is the first update we have had in a long time, particularly for such a critical feature. Does this testing include selecting multiple conversations and emails at once when drag/dropping? Moving one at a time is extremely frustrating for our users.
HiScott_Whitmore ,
Yes, the feature includes being able to move multiple emails from inbox to Groups. Hope this helps.
This has now changed to "Rolling Out" from in "In Development" - Ethan Li, how can we enable our 0365 tenant to be included in the initial rollout of this? We would be very keen to have it enabled for testing rather than waiting for it to be bundled with a quarterly update. Cheers
